Chapter 48 Complaint
Chapter 48 Complaint
Ruan Zhu knew that Lin Suqiu had gone to the Guanyin Temple, so he was inevitably worried. Looking at the rain outside, he prayed silently in his heart. He was not worried about what Dong Wujiu and Goddess Bei would do to Lin Suqiu, but mainly because he was afraid that Lin Suqiu would not be able to find the Guanyin Temple. A person was caught in the rain.
Ah Hui saw that people had been staring at the rain curtain outside, with a preoccupied look, and he couldn't help opening his mouth to comfort him: "Young master, don't worry, the eldest lady said that the business of the Yang family and the Ruan family will not be contaminated. "
Yang's business?
Ruan Zhu didn't understand what it meant, so he asked: "When did sister talk about the business with the Yang family, that's wrong! Should I say when the Yang family came to discuss business?"
Only then did Ah Hui realize that the two of them were not talking about the same thing at all, and immediately lowered his head in panic, knowing that he had made a mistake.
But how could he take back what he had said, he still had to tell the truth under Ruan Zhu's repeated questioning.
When he went to see Lin Suqiu, the Yang family approached Ruan Qingque, but she declined.
Thinking about Lin Suqiu's description of the Yang family, Ruan Zhu felt that Ruan Qingque was doing the right thing. Doing business with this kind of person would definitely suffer a loss, and might cause other troubles.
For the Yang family, Ruan Zhu didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a cutscene until the Ruan family received the invitation from the Yang family.
Ruan Zhu happened to meet him, and seeing Ruan Qingque's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help asking: "We have no business relationship with the Yang family, can't we just refuse?"
"You, father invited Su Yanqing before, and he has no business relationship with us, so he is here."
Suddenly hearing Su Yanqing's appearance from Ruan Qingque's mouth, Ruan Zhu's eyes dodged slightly, and he asked softly: "Then shall we go there? If we have to go, sister will take me with you." .”
He was a little worried that Ruan Qingque went alone.
"What? Are you worried about something going wrong?" Ruan Qingque put the invitation aside, and said in a low voice: "The Yang family's power is expanding rapidly, and it looks ambitious. It must not be underestimated, and its strength is also very strong. I am worried now The only thing is that he will continue to do business with me."
It is said that there is no benevolence and righteousness in business, but not everyone is like this.
Ruan Zhu heard Ruan Qingque's worry and wanted to go with her.
On the day of the banquet, Ruan Zhu didn't realize it was a birthday party until after getting off the car. The birthday party was the second young lady of the Yang family, who was said to be only ten years old.
Looking at everything carefully prepared everywhere, Ruan Zhu couldn't help but whispered with emotion: "This Yang family is much more generous than the Fang family!"
It seems that they are all showing off, but it is obvious that the Yang family is more willing to spend their money. Looking at the ostentation, it may be difficult to find a second family that is so extravagant.
Ruan Qingque shook his head helplessly, and said: "You should restrain yourself, the Yang family must have invited the Fang family, and the Fang family will definitely show up."
As soon as the words fell, another group of guests ushered in outside, the two looked at the same time, not only there were people from the Fang family, but also an unexpected guest.
I saw Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhi walking in front, and behind them were none other than Su Yanqing and Su Sheng.
When Ruan Zhu saw Su Sheng, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise. He remembered that Su Sheng was well protected by Su Yanqing, and Su Sheng was basically not brought to this kind of banquet. Why is it an exception this time?
He stared closely at the two of them, Su Sheng soon found him, showing a look of joy, but after being patted by Su Yanqing on the shoulder with one hand, he could only follow Su Yanqing sleepily and dare not go over.
Su Yanqing shook her head slightly towards Ruan Zhu, and led Su Sheng towards the Yang family.
Ruan Qingque naturally saw it too, and couldn't help wondering: "Could it be that the Su family has something else to do with the Yang family?"
At this time, Ruan Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly asked: "Sister, do you know the name of the head of the Yang family?"
It would be miserable if it was called Yang Yan.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingque replied softly, "It seems that his name is Yang Yan. Today is his daughter Yang Chutao's tenth birthday."
Ruan Zhu swallowed in horror, Su Sheng's adoptive father was Yang Yan.
Ruan Zhu was a little overwhelmed by everything that happened suddenly. He felt that his mind was in a mess, and a lot of information was mixed together, which made it difficult for him to sort out, so he could only stand silently by Ruan Qingque.
Seeing his ugly face, Ruan Qingque thought it was uncomfortable, and asked worriedly, "Azhu, why are you uncomfortable? Why don't you let Ah Hui take you back first?"
"No need!" Ruan Zhu refused immediately, he could not leave now, "Sister, I'm really fine, I just feel a little hungry, I'll just eat some small cakes."
"Okay, if you really feel uncomfortable, you can tell me, don't hold on, this banquet is not as important as you think." Ruan Qingque was dubious about Ruan Zhu's words, seeing that people were unwilling to leave, so he silently A little more attention.
After a while, Su Sheng walked through the crowd and came to Ruan Zhu, first greeted Ruan Qingque politely, and then moved closer to Ruan Zhu.
"Azhu, I didn't expect you to come here. I thought my brother was lying to me! Let's go for a walk together later!" His eyes were a little excited, obviously very satisfied with this kind of release, But he didn't want to have fun everywhere, he just wanted to stay by Ruan Zhu's side.
Seeing Su Sheng's happy face, Ruan Zhu looked complicated, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Sheng, does he know the relationship between the Yang family and you? Could it be that there is a business relationship?"
"No, Uncle Yang is an old friend of my father's. He is the same as Uncle Gu before. It's strange to say that since they all come, why didn't Uncle Yang come with Uncle Gu? I also asked my brother, and my brother said maybe it was Uncle Gu is in a hurry, so he has to come here so that he can rush back."
The child's intuition is sometimes very sharp. Looking at Su Sheng's expression, it is obvious that he does not believe Su Yanqing's words, but because it is Su Yanqing's reason, he is willing to compromise.
Ruan Zhu can almost confirm the plot of this part. If he guesses correctly, the Yang family is the accomplice who killed the Su family. The book says that they took in the orphan Su Sheng because of guilt, but now Ruan Zhu feels that what is written in the book is not necessarily the correct.
There are too many gaps in it, and those places can be added and supplemented at will.
Su Sheng also saw that Ruan Zhu was not in a good mood, he first looked at Su Yanqing's position, and found that Fang was chatting with Yang Yan, and then said softly: "Azhu, are you also worried that your brother will get married? Huh? I heard from Yan Yanling that the Yang family was uneasy and kind, and they must want to get married."
"Miss Yan?" Ruan Zhu frowned lightly, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Su Yanqing. Yang Yan smiled cheerfully at this time, and seemed very satisfied with Su Yanqing. It means that the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
But the person Su Yanqing likes is him, so this marriage is impossible!
At this time Yang Yan stood in the middle and spoke loudly, first he thanked everyone for coming to his daughter's birthday party, then he explained why he came here, and in the end he even brought Su Yanqing with him.
Ruan Zhu couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, but after the important words, he could only hear the crowd clapping continuously, and two girls, one tall and one short, went up from the side.
The eldest daughter, Yang Yuqing, is slim and flamboyant, while the youngest daughter, Yang Chutao, is cute and sweet, with ignorant eyes and a naive smile.
They look like two completely different sisters.
After Yang Yan's introduction, he brought Yang Yuqing to Su Yanqing, and it happened to match what Su Sheng said.
Ruan Zhu felt a little weird, but Su Sheng was more excited than him, and pulled Ruan Zhu towards the position over there.
However, he didn't rush up directly, but stood not far away, where he could vaguely hear the conversation.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, Ruan Zhu admitted that he cared a lot. If it was really about the marriage contract, how would Su Yanqing respond?
"Nephew, the last time I said goodbye to your father, there was no possibility of seeing each other again. Maybe you didn't know that we had agreed to a marriage contract at that time! Now that Yuqing is grown up, what I am most relieved of is her marriage."
Ruan Zhu's hand on Su Sheng's shoulder tightened suddenly, and he already guessed what the next sentence would be.
Sure enough, Yang Yan continued: "You have also reached the marriageable age, now there are only two of you brothers in the Su residence, there should be a housekeeper woman."
"Azhu, let me go." Su Sheng stretched out his hand and patted Ruan Zhu's own hand very calmly, and said in a deep voice, "If you can't do it, just pinch your clothes. I'm actually a little afraid of pain."
Ruan Zhu smiled awkwardly, chose to pinch his cuffs, fixed his eyes on Su Yanqing, and waited for his response.
The distance between them is not far. How could Su Yanqing not see Ruan Zhu? Since he came in, he has been looking at Ruan Zhu from time to time. Now he naturally knows that he is waiting for his response. He pursed his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Yang for your concern. It's just that this marriage is not a trivial matter. Besides, Ah Sheng and I have been dependent on each other since childhood. If we suddenly decide on a marriage, he may not be able to accept it for a while. We can't worry about it."
"Ah Sheng is already thirteen, and he is already a young adult." Yang Yan said that he wanted to find Su Sheng, and when Su Sheng saw this, he quickly buried his head in Ruan Zhu's arms, as if the other party would not be able to find him.
But in fact, you can see him, but after seeing him like this, you can't say anything.
Yang Yan smiled softly, "You're right, then Yuqing should take the initiative, maybe Ah Sheng will want his sister-in-law!"
Su Yanqing just smiled lightly and did not respond. At this time, the people of Fang's family approached him, and he took the opportunity to back away, taking Ruan Zhu and Su Sheng aside by the way.
Both Ruan Zhu and Su Sheng felt a little guilty, but they were not convinced, they both looked at Su Yanqing stubbornly.
"Brother, if I let that Yang Yuqing be my sister-in-law, it would be better than Yan Yanling! Although she is sick, at least she is pleasing to the eye." Su Sheng immediately expressed that she didn't like Yang Yuqing, and even took Yan Yanling as her sister-in-law. Compared.
Ruan Zhu nodded along, "A Sheng is right."
After hearing this, Su Yanqing laughed angrily, stretched out her hand and quickly pinched Ruan Zhu's face, gritted her teeth and said, "You're right, did you hear what he said clearly? It's just nonsense!"
Seeing this, Ruan Zhu was left with a guilty conscience.
Su Sheng thought that he had troubled Ruan Zhu, and said anxiously: "Brother! You can't say A Zhu, A Zhu just expressed his truest thoughts. Anyway, he just doesn't want that woman to be his sister-in-law. She won't be easy to mess with at first sight , not gentle at all."
He grabbed Su Yanqing's sleeve and shook it, and murmured: "If it doesn't work, we won't get married. I will take care of you."
Su Yanqing retracted her sleeves, dumbfounded, and tapped Su Sheng's forehead, "What's going on in your little head! Marriage is a major event that should not be hasty. Since it is a major event, it will take some time, so don't rush it."
These words were obviously addressed to Su Sheng, but Su Yanqing's eyes fell on Ruan Zhu, and his heart beat faster.
How do you say you want to marry him...
He lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Su Yanqing's eyes until Su Sheng reached out and shook his eyes, and said: "Don't be afraid, my brother has already left, let's go there for a walk, and Qing Sister Que together."
At this time, Ruan Zhu realized that he was here to protect Ruan Qingque. Fortunately, when he returned, the other party was still standing there. Seeing the two of them coming back, he asked, "What's the matter? Don't you be scolded by Master Su?"
She saw the two bowing their heads for training from a distance, and couldn't help but find it funny, the scene of brothers respecting each other was warm.
"Sister Qingque, let's go over there for a walk, this banquet won't be able to get to the point for a while." Su Sheng acted like a baby towards Ruan Qingque. Pleased, Ruan Qingque did not refuse.
The three of them walked towards the less crowded place on the other side, talking while walking, which made Ruan Qingque laugh again and again.
Just when Su Sheng was talking about the exciting part, a girl's crying interrupted him. Although the voice was not loud, all three of them heard it clearly, especially Su Sheng. The location went over.
Ruan Qingque and Ruan Zhu looked at each other and hurriedly followed. When they walked over, they saw Su Sheng squatting comforting the little girl.
Look at the clothes on that little girl, isn't this today's birthday star Yang Chutao?No one would be so bold as to bully the Yang family's youngest daughter in the Yang family's territory, right?
Yang Chutao obviously didn't expect to be surrounded by people, so she quickly wiped away the tears on her face, looked at them a little shyly, and said in a low voice, "I, I'm fine, don't tell others, okay?"
Ruan Zhu frowned subconsciously, this was obviously not the first time such a thing had happened, and he was familiar with it so that others would not tell it.
Su Sheng saw that people were so stupid, and snorted softly: "It's okay if you're crying? If someone bullies you, you have to fight back! Otherwise, she will dare to bully you next time, and she will bully you even worse!"
"A Sheng, what are you talking about!" Ruan Zhu hurriedly stopped, how could this teach a girl to fight!
Su Sheng was said to also feel that what she said was inappropriate, but she couldn't find the right words for a while, so she could only put it badly, "Oh, anyway, just don't hold back, or you will be bullied all the time."
Yang Chutao looked at Su Sheng's collapse and smiled, "Thank you, but I can't say it."
She got up and patted her skirt, and bowed to the three of them in thanks, "Thank you sister and brothers for comforting me, thank you for your relationship, but it really doesn't matter."
After saying these words, she turned around and left, she couldn't see that she was still crying just now, and she ran fast.
Su Sheng looked at Ruan Zhu in confusion and asked, "Do you think she is stupid? Isn't she too different from her sister?"
Although I don't know how Su Sheng saw Yang Yuqing's temperament, Ruan Zhu also answered the other party's question, "Maybe it's because one looks like a father and the other looks like a mother."
Su Sheng suddenly realized, "That's right, my brother is like a mother, and I am like a father."
"Okay, since you have nothing to do, go back, and the banquet will start later." Ruan Qingque finally knew why Ruan Zhu liked to go to Su's mansion. Like a new brother.
Su Sheng followed Ruan Zhu, looking like a member of the Ruan family, even when eating, she didn't return to Su Yanqing's side, the key is that Su Yanqing didn't care, she just looked at Ruan Zhu from time to time. Looking from the position, it seems to be confirming the existence of Su Sheng.
After the hilarity, the banquet passed without any danger.
Ruan Qingque breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "I thought we would continue to discuss business, but now I should have given up on the Ruan family."
This is also a good thing.
Ruan Zhu was worried. After all, Yang Yan was looking at the person he liked now. It would be great if he could give up so easily, because he was afraid that he would not give up so easily.
Regarding the future fate of the Su family, the Yang family should be the most vigilant now, this is the only variable now.
He suddenly thought that if Su Yanqing's accident had something to do with Yang Yan, what did Su Sheng think then?The adoptive father he had always been in awe of turned out to be the murderer who ruined his family.
Just thinking about this possibility made Ruan Zhu feel distressed.
He shook his head, trying to get this thought out of his mind, but almost knocked it on the table, and Ah Hui, who was on the side in shock, quickly persuaded: "What's the matter, young master? Maybe you can tell me something that you can't figure out?" I want to understand."
Ruan Zhu said with a gloomy gaze: "No, it will be even more difficult to understand if you tell it." The things he knows, it's okay if no one believes it, but the most fearful thing is that someone will believe it, and then purify him with fire.
Ah Hui also knew that he was a servant and didn't understand anything at all, so he had to stand by silently to prevent Ruan Zhu from knocking on the table.
This night, Ruan Zhu's dreams were extremely complicated, and he woke up several times at night, and he was not very energetic at first sight.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingque asked worriedly: "Where is the Anshenxiang that Dong Wujiu gave before? Is it gone? Why are you so spiritless?"
Ruan Zhu subconsciously nodded, and explained: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I wake up too many times at night, so I'm just a little lack of energy. Sister is going out so early today. Are you going to see someone?"
Interrupted by Ruan Zhu, Ruan Qingque responded, "Today I'm going to take Mr. Li to see the winery, and then watch the production process. The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, so it's better to go out early."
Ruan Zhu nodded in agreement. It would be great if there were fans and air conditioners this day, but now I can only fan the wind manually, and it may not be cool.
Because there were other people accompanying him, Ruan Zhu didn't intend to go with him. Since the incident last time, what he is most afraid of now is that Ruan Qingque will be alone with others, and he is afraid that some evil wind will suddenly come. .
He was lying on the table, fanning the wind weakly, and began to expand his guesses in his mind, like a large-scale character relationship diagram.
In the end, he came to a conclusion, no matter what, he had to make Su Yanqing be more careful, not to take it lightly, let alone agree to the Yang family's marriage!
It's just that he was powerless, and he didn't get a chance to go to Su Mansion for several days.
But he didn't have the chance to go to the Su Mansion, but people from the Su Mansion came looking for him.
Ruan Zhu was simplifying the account book when he heard Su Sheng coming, and almost dripped ink on the account book when he heard these words, he hurriedly moved away in fright, and said pleasantly: "Go and bring A Sheng into my room, and then prepare the sour plum soup!"
Although he was thinking about Su Yanqing, he was also happy that Su Sheng came to find him, not to mention that he could bring the letter for him. After thinking about it, he wrote two paragraphs on the paper, folded them and put them away in the envelope.
It should also be possible to use letters.
As soon as Ruan Zhu entered the door, Ruan Zhu saw Su Sheng lying limply on the table, looking weak, and only managed to support himself after seeing Ruan Zhu, looking at Ruan Zhu with an aggrieved face.
It seems that he should have come to him specifically to seek comfort after being angry.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Zhu stepped forward and just sat down, Ah Hui brought sour plum soup, and the sweet and sour taste immediately lingered on the tip of their noses.
Su Sheng's attention was attracted by the sour plum soup, and after tasting it with a bowl, he said, "It's not Yan Yanling! Do you think she is crazy! How dare she say such a thing!"
What's the matter with Guan Yanling?
Ruan Zhu was a little surprised. Although Su Sheng and Yan Yanling didn't get along very well, it had been a long time since they had such a conflict, and Su Sheng would not speak ill of one person easily.
"What's wrong with Miss Yan? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"There's no misunderstanding! Yang came to our house for dinner today, and brought his baby daughter with him, but he gave his daughter to my brother again, and I was about to help my brother refuse it." , who knew that Yan Yanling could move even faster!"
Su Sheng finished talking angrily and took another big mouthful of sour plum soup. His expression changed from good to bad, and he snorted softly: "She actually said that she is the wife of her brother who has never been married. If Uncle Yang doesn't believe it, you can ask about it. She has lived in Su's house for a long time, but it was delayed due to business reasons."
"Although that Ms. Yang's expression is very funny, but she is too much, I don't want her to be my sister-in-law!"
Ruan Zhu didn't expect this to happen, and he didn't know how to react for a while. It was a strange experience for his lover to have an extra fiancee, but he obviously paid more attention to another thing, "What did Brother Su say?" Yet?"
Su Sheng felt the pressure inexplicably, and hesitated: "My brother didn't directly deny it, he just said that Yan Ling was still young, and then said that she was not in good health, so someone sent her back."
Ruan Zhu could imagine Su Yanqing's appearance when he said these words. These words were somewhat ambiguous, so it can be said that he admitted it.
Because Yan Yanling was still young, she didn't get married, but it can be regarded as a denial, because Yan Yanling was still young, so all she said was nonsense.
"Azhu, what do you mean by my brother?" Su Sheng asked, "If my brother really admits it, will he marry Yan Yanling?"
"No!" Ruan Zhu subconsciously vetoed, "Brother Su should deny it, probably thinking that this would make the Yang family jealous, so he didn't directly veto it. He won't marry Miss Yan."
As he said this, his tone gradually became firmer, and he knew in his heart what kind of person the person he liked was.
That's why she believed in the other party so much. Su Yanqing would not be a pious person who contradicted his promise.
Although Su Sheng didn't know why the other party was so sure, but inexplicably gave him a sense of peace of mind, "That's good, then I can rest assured."
After he relaxed completely, he was about to drink the last bit of sour plum soup in the bowl, but suddenly there was chatter and laughter from the door.
One is Ruan Qingque, and the other is Su Yanqing.
Su Sheng immediately stood up, still holding the bowl in his hand, and looked at Su Yanqing who was standing at the door with a guilty face, "Brother, why are you here?"
And it came so fast...
